Application: Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium (Patent ID: US20240087471A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes an information processing apparatus that acquires physical makeup information of objects based on images obtained from multiple imaging apparatuses in different directions. The apparatus then generates motion information associated with the physical makeup information of one object based on the physical makeup information and motion information of another object.
The claims of the patent outline the components of the information processing apparatus, including acquisition units for obtaining physical makeup information and motion information of different objects, and a generation unit for creating motion information related to the physical makeup information of one object using the physical makeup and motion information of another object. This technology could have applications in various fields such as virtual reality, animation, and biometric identification systems.
